Big Brown is a very good horse in a weak year, but no Secretariat.

Kentucky Derby winning times:
Secretariat 1:59 2/5 ( still the derby record after 35 years )
Big Brown 2:01.82

Preakness Stakes winning times:
Secretariat 1:53 2/5 (unofficial) 1:54.4 ( official )
Big Brown 1:54.8

Belmont Stakes winning time:
Secretariat 2:24 ( still the stakes, track, and world record after 35 years )

If Big Brown can become only the second horse to win the Belmont Stakes in under 2:26, he will rank as one of the better horses in racing history -— but still no Secretariat!

Unfortunate that Sec's fans ran out onto the track prior to the Preakness and broke the timer.

'73 Preakness

His move down the backstretch was the best I've ever seen.

when Secretariat passed , an autopsy was performed and it was discovered his heart was 20 % larger than normal ( not an anomoy, just a larger heart)

.. it was alluded it allowed a better performance but others allowed it showed the love of racing Secretariat
so enjoyed
